Horror on the lonesome plains!

I added Arboreatum by Evans Light to my TBR on 3.5.13. Isn’t that a fabulous cover? I have read a lot of his books and when I had the chance I downloaded everything I could get my hands on. This looks like another quick read that I am hoping to get to it for the October Horror season.

Review – Black Door by Evans Light @BrothersLight #Horror

Posted on by

.

I have been a fan of the Light Brothers for some time now. They specialize in short horror stories that will keep you up at night. I only found this available as an audiobook. Visit his website below for some free stuff for you to check out and I highly recommend doing so.

Audiobook / Goodreads

MY REVIEW

First off, I enjoyed Black Door by Evans Light and have read several of his short stories. Black Door seemed like its target audience is preteens and teens looking for an adventure. I enjoyed my journey, but like things deeper and darker, giving me shivers and jumping at those things that go bump in the night. I feel the youngster might just do that.

I can hear the boys bickering, jabbering as the GPS leads them on a wild goosechase. The camp is not what they expected and I think we know what that means…some spookalificous moments are to be had.

Evans Light has a way with words, creating some creepy descriptions, but that is not the creepiest part. It is the ending. So, beware when you embark on your next camping experience. You may get more than you bargained for.

3 Stars

GOODREADS BLURB

William and his brothers are on their way to summer camp. But when a wrong turn leads them to an abandoned campground, things start to get weird in this nail-biting tale of adventure and suspense.

”Imaginatively cryptic . . .will delight readers young and old alike with good old-fashioned spookiness. Highly recommended.”

Appropriate reading for pre-teens, teens and adults.

Five Slices of Halloween Horror – Bad Apples #BadApples

Posted on by

.

Bad Apples is Five Slices of Halloween Horror.

I received and read this book in October of 2014, but…

Bad Apples: Five Slices of Halloween Horror

MY REVIEW

These unique, gruesome and devilishly delicious stories will have you looking over your shoulder, jumping at every noise and shadow.

Be careful of wandering dark streets at night.

The authors twisted imaginations take horror to the highest levels with  surprise endings and plenty of twists and turns along the way.

Four stars all the way!

The Riggle Twins by Gregor Xane

Pretty gross and devilishly delicious with tricks and treats for the Halloween hater. Do you have a dark house on Halloween, no candy for the treaters? Beware…egging and tping are not the only tricks these children have in store for you. 4 Stars

Pumpkinhead Ted by Evans Light

What they did to Ted is so awful…I can’t tell you. You’ll have to read it for yourself. BUT, he is back, one year later, for payback. OMG. I never saw that coming. Evans Light takes me to a place that smacks me around and makes me scream UNCLE! 4 Stars

Ghost Light Road by Adam Light

Of course, someone saw the light. Of course, what happens next, had to happen. I actually laughed. Dumbasses! Here comes the badness. You think vampires and werewolves are scary, you haven’t met Uncle Jesse’s children…and you really don’t want to. 4 Stars

Easy Pickings by Jason Parent

Beware. What goes around, comes around. Like a cat playing with its prey, I know something is coming…Now…No, now….Uh Oh. 4 Stars

The Scare Rows by Edward Lorn

Children of the Corn and Supernatural on steroids. I didn’t see this story developing the way it did, but I should not have been surprised, with Edward’s twisted imagination. Horror, perverted sex and evil do go together well. I wondered how he would end The Scare Rows and I couldn’t help but laugh when I got there. Corn Whisky…HA HA HA HA HA! Excellent. 5 Stars

I voluntarily reviewed a free copy of Bad Apples.

Animated Animals. Pictures, Images and Photos  4 Stars

GOODREADS BLURB

Ghost Light Road by Adam Light

“It’s that time of year again,kids!” he exclaimed.

“Who’s ready for some delicious treats?”

He let the last word carry out for a full three seconds, determined to whip the kids into a frenzy of unbridled sugar lust.

(Book Beginnings)

The Riggle Twins by Gregor Xane

For the twins, the days between Halloweens passed like hours. The sun and moon circled their treehouse home like hungry wolves. There were shadows everywhere inside, in constant motion. Every object looked to be either bleeding darkness or drinking it up. Thanks to Sam, their benefactor, time worked differently for the Riggle twins. Unlike other children, they didn’t have to trudge through a whole year played at the proper speed to arrive again at their favorite holiday. But still they were impatient. They were children, after all, and living through  what felt like only fifteen days between Halloweens was still sometimes too much to bear. They didn’t sleep through the periods of fleeting darkness, either, which only made things worse. Again, thanks to Sam, they had no need for sleep.

 Happy reading!

Add ME to your GOODREADS reading list now.

MY REVIEW

Evans Light, and his brother Adam, write some of the most excellent and creeptastic short stories you will ever read. Crawlspace is a prime example of Evans originality and his twisted mind. LOL

He is a bestselling author and his short stories are a delight (?) to read.

I feel confident he will have me cringing and the hairs standing up on the back of my neck as I delve into this one.

I love the covers that foreshadow the wickedness between the pages.

Thomas had been living the high life, until…..

His depression over the loss of his career was paralyzing.

I can picture him as he gains weight and doesn’t care enough to even shower.

Then he met her, Miranda.

Kelly, his wife, is at her wits end.

I can feel her frustration with the situation.

She heads out the door with their daughter, giving him an ultimatum.

Finish the work in the Crawlspace, or else.

He could do that.

He just needed to pick himself up and get on with it.

I’m tring to figure out how Evans can make a crawlspace any creepier than it already is.

I mean, think about it. It’s dark, damp, dark and there are creepy crawlies in there.

Evan Light’s description of the darkness and smell makes me not want to go into the Crawlspace, but glad that Thomas has to. LOL

The darkness is so deep, he can’t see his hand in front of his face.

The ground is muddy and cold, seeping into every pore of his body.

Oh no, spiders. But they are just webs, empty with empty carcasses of captured prey.

I’m getting claustrophobic.

My heart starts to beat faster.

My breath comes quicker.

I had a glimpse of where this is going, but the extreme machinations of Kelly, a woman determined to keep her man, no matter what the lengths she has to go to, knows no bounds.

I sit tensely waiting …..

Crawlspace is a dark and horrifying tale that had me on the edge of my seat, wringing my hands.

I did not see the end coming and couldn’t help but chuckle a bit when it did.

I may have a morbid sense of humor.

I am an armchair editor and found some minor issues.

They did not affect my rating, because the writing was so imaginative, I feel Crawlspace deserves a high rating.

After all, how do you take something as common as infidelity and make it into a story you can’t put down?

This is a free read, so grab your copy now!

Dark Curtains by Evans Light

Add Shudder to Goodreads

A dream house.

“Young man, those curtains are not to be taken down, not altered, not covered – nothing….”

James and Claire were eager to begin their new life together. They moved in and marveled at the beauty of their new home. It didn’t take long for Claire to begin to realize that something wasn’t right.

Animated Animals. Pictures, Images and Photos   4 STARS – Would Highly Recommend To Others

The cover is awesome. I feel the hairs standing up on the back of my neck as I stare into her eyes. I just know she is up to no good.

I have read some of the Light Brother’s books and I expected Dark Curtains to be good and creepy.

This is a short story, but Evans Light has no problem with packing the action into the pages. He does capture my attention and hold it throughout the book. He built the suspense and kept me guessing what was going to happen and when until the end.

I loved it when he talked about the house flipping off the inferior houses around it. Never hurts to have a laugh along with the creepy.

I love ghost stories and this one didn’t let me down. I had an idea of what was going to happen very early on. BUT, Evans has to add a twist.

It seems like Evan Light is going to let us choose which ending we like best. There is an alternate ending at the end of the book. I like them both. To me, the first was predictable and what I thought it would be. It was very good. The second, I didn’t see coming, so I’m more inclined to go with it. I like surprises in my books.

I picked the book up on a free Amazon day. Thank you Evans Light.

Whatever Possessed You?

Add To Goodreads

Gerard Faust was a writer. The writing gods had looked down on him and he got a super, fantastic publishing deal.

Now, a writer’s curse. Yep. You guessed it. Writer’s block.

The deadline was looming. Two weeks.

Maybe a trip to the bookstore would help. It did tend to inspire him. As he approached the store, an unkempt and ravaged looking man confronted him. Was he about to get mugged, or worse? Instead, the man pulled out a piece of paper insisting he read it out loud.

“Words and music are inseparable.”

We were face to face. His breath was my breath. Gerard felt it going deeper and deeper.

His dreams were telling him he would write the best book every written. His urge to write overwhelmed him, taking over every aspect of his life.

“I will finish my book and it will change the world.”

In his wildest dreams, or should I say nightmares, he never could have forseen what would happen.

Animated Animals. Pictures, Images and Photos   4 STARS – Wouldly Recommend To Others

I love the cover. A bit creepy. Look deeply into the eyes. Can you see it? Do you feel it?

I’m sitting here. Thinking. How am I going to describe the book to you? I always try to figure out what will happen before it happens. I thought I knew where it was going. It seems that was Evans’ plan all along. I took the right fork and he took the wrong, I mean left.

I would think – OK, I get it. Oops, thought it was going here, but whoa, it went way over there.

His twists and turns are like S curves, highly dangerous. Be careful, be very careful, when you open the pages of this book.

Be careful what you wish for, you just might get it.

If it seems to good to be true, it is.

Cliches, but so appropriate.

Evans writing is easy to read and flows smoothly. The book is a quick read, but the topic is heavy. Sometimes the worst demon, is the one within.

I love it when I don’t know the ending until I get there. And this ending is unforeseen by me. Thanks Evans. I am not that surprised very often.

I picked this book up on a free Amazon day. Thank you Evans Light. I will keep my eyes on you. LOL
